The Urangan councillor, who has opposed the application since it was first brought to the Fraser Coast Regional Council in 2016, said the proposed buildings would change the character and density of Hervey Bay.

"It's a disappointing development for Hervey Bay, and not like how I would like to see the city developed," Cr Seymour said.

The application was first lodged in September 2016 on behalf of Anscape Pty Ltd.

Council documents reveal plans for a combined 390 units, along with about 775 car parks, a swimming pool and a restaurant within the complex.

Councillors David Lewis and James Hansen also voted against the development.

Cr Seymour raised concerns that a number of assessments had not been submitted with the application, including an acoustics impact assessment and ecological assessment report.

"It's got preliminary approval... but the developers still have a long way to go before they can start building it," he said.
